In Hollywood's golden age films went out as double bills. A "B-Movie" was a low budget film made specifically to be the second feature shown, coming after the better-budgeted "A movie" which would feature bigger stars and have a better director. Though the time of studio production of double bills is long gone, the term "B movie" (as well as "B List actor" and "B List Director") has remained, now meaning any low budget non-pornographic movie.

Answer

A B-movie is a movie made with a very low or no budget. As opposed to an A movie which has CGI effects and money pouring out of it. It is the cheapie one of a double feature.
